I ask as I just called a number I believe should have helped me, but the woman had no idea about this and claimed that AT&T does not have the unlock codes.
So, never? Seriously, Sony has always been bad. Maybe we didn't see it as "evil" in the US because they were Japanese and we were afraid to call another culture's style of business evil for fear of being bigots. Sony is evil, and it didn't start 5 years ago or 10 years ago, they always were. Regardless, they make damn fine electronics. In every other market, their name is mud to me, but, God, I've had some great Sony electronics in my life (including, the essentially same V6's).
As a computer engineer, I am always a little jealous of the "all in a days work" attitude of good civil engineers. This is a bit of a puff piece, but the unfortunate fact is, we, as engineers, often can't or at least don't anticipate all possible problems down the line. This is an amazing story of success, but it just underscores the fact that this is exception, not the rule. Regardless, technology keeps marching and we can only hope to get better and better, despite governments' inadequacies.

Seconded. Many things sound fine (not great, but OK) in medium to low bitrate MP3 or OGG or AAC or whatever. Some things sound terrible, and when they do, it sucks to listen to.
You cannot possibly wake up in the morning, look yourself in the mirror and be happy to be a part of this organization. The RIAA represents a good number of indie lables, too... You sicken me.
I have Spotify on my iphone and at least once a week I dream of a world with a Zune app instead. I've used them all (Rhapsody, Spotify, Zune and tried Yahoo/Napster) and the Zune Pass is the best and most bang for your buck.
I bought the brown zune for $100 like what 5 years ago (maybe less) and it remains one of the top 5 electronics devices I have ever owned (in a list including my first, completely indestructable walkman and a used T23). Hail the venerable brownzune with the squirt technology!
I had thought that also, but while it's fresh in my memory, the search term "scroogle" has never shown me http://www.scroogle.org/ in Google's search results.
Well, aren't the slashtards on their high horse today? Every single word in my post is 100% accurate. If you don't believe that, it is your worldview that does not fit reality, not mine. Maybe the word "spying" was over the top, but not inaccurate. If you doubt that, you have to ask which one of us is delusional.
How do anyone does anything they claim to. Trust, brother, trust. And, google has 100% lost mine. I am working on a plan to ditch Gmail permanently, and I'll be done with google forever.
I just found Scroogle this year while traveling in China. I kicked myself for not finding it years sooner. It provided an encrypted proxy for google, exactly what I've always wanted. There is no viable alternative. StartingPage filters a lot of results. Duck Duck Go is okay, but I highly doubt it is as committed to storing as little information as Scroogle was. Tis a very sad day:(
I've already deleted my facebook. I'm scrambling to figure a way to ditch gmail right now (since the privacy policy changes). Don't use bing as InterGuru suggests, but rather https://ssl.scroogle.org/ or startingpage.com

It's just some box in some grad student's office somewhere

No, I think we often fail at worst case scenarios, from the titanic to chernobyl.

When there is a nice sub $100 android set top box that'll push 1080p, then I think you can expect an android version.
He's very good at convincing us that he couldn't care less about people who use different phones.

No worries. It'll be back to "Microsoft Windows 9 Live Party by Bing" in 2 years.

Oh shit, that revealed something about my medical problems? Or, the things I look up in wikipedia? All this time I never knew.

I know. I do love handing over my deeply personal information to an international spying corporation.
Have you considered that a vote for Nader is in actuality a vote for "fuck you"?

What OS kernel is written in Cobol again? I seem to have forgotten. Real mission critical stuff at Boeing? NASA? All that stuff then right?
